“ the subject in plural or singular pronoun. The researcher found

leaf”. The sentence becomes incorrect because the student uses have as the verb. In this case, it is inappropriate because the use
of have for the singular subject, in singular subject the students have to use has and in plural sentence. The students have to
using have as verb in their sentence. The correct verb is has. There are some sentences contain error of misuse of verb.
